Cooking
Mix in large bowl butter and sugar. For gingerbread baking sugar Demerara is ideal. Beat with a whisk or with a mixer until smooth, the mixture should be light, almost white.
Add honey and egg.
Stir well with a whisk or with a mixer.
Add spices and soda.
In small batches add the flour, stirring first with a spatula, then by hand. Roll the dough into a ball, divide into two parts, each wrap in a package or wrap and put into the fridge for an hour minimum.
Pre-cut blanks for house. I had a side of 9 cm and 14 cm end side. To turn on the oven. Roll the dough out no thinner than 3 mm, cut out shapes, transfer to baking sheet. I collected the house with ribbons, so the straws for cocktails immediately need to cut holes for the drawstring in the blanks.
Scraps of dough again, roll out, cut figures of animals, trees, men, etc.
Bake at 175-180 degrees until Golden. About 7-8 minutes.
To paint with chocolate or frosting. I had finished the frosting, if not, you can mix powdered sugar with water or lemon juice to desired consistency, add dye. Chocolate to break, to fold the bag and put it in hot water. When the chocolate has melted, cut the tip of the package and you can draw!
For me it was the first experience of baking a gingerbread house. Can share small tips: paint preparation is better to Assembly and holes for ribbons to make more precisely, that the house is smooth. My son was ecstatic!
